Wood mulch

Free shredded tree material generated from the city’s routine tree trimming is available to Brooklyn Park residents while supplies last. When available, it will be piled in the Central Park parking lot at 83rd Avenue and Noble Avenue North. Residents must use their own container and load the mulch themselves. Quality and availability varies.

Yard waste

Did you know it is against state law to put yard and tree waste in your garbage?

All garbage haulers must offer separate collection of yard waste; however, there is usually an additional fee for this service. Compostable bags or a cart must be used for yard waste collection. Check with your hauler for details and requirements.

Free yard waste drop-off

Brooklyn Park contracts with neighboring cities to provide a seasonal drop-off at the Maple Grove Yard Waste Site for certain residential yard waste.

Accepted materials include:

De-bagged grass clippings

Leaves

Garden materials

Brush/tree limbs 10 inches in diameter or less

There is no charge at the gate for residents of these contracted cities but you must show proof of residency.
